Really? I was told just the opposite. Well, years ago, I was told that KE FA's were considered basically high level "hostesses". I haven't heard that lately, so that must no longer be the case (or the perceived case). But these days every Korean guy that I've asked about FAs says basically says the same thing - they might be good for a girlfriend (especially as a "trophy"), but horrible for a wife. They're away from home many days out of the year, and constantly meeting guys on the plane as part of their job. Thus there's lots of temptation and opportunities to stray. I'm not at all saying that is my perception of a KE FA, just what I've heard Korean men's impression is of them. The age of the men I'm referring to would be middle age and up, so I don't know what young men might think.
